To Daft Davie she paid not the

About Fox Raising 


Interesting Facts Regarding the 
Rearing of Animals in Captivity. 
Some interesting facts regarding 

fox farming are forthcoming from the 

Veterinary Director General, Dr. Tor- 

rance, In an article in The Agricul- 

tural Gazette of Canada for Novem- 
ber, he tells us that the main difficulty 
connected with the raising of foxes in 
captvity is the protecting of them 
from disease, It is noticeable that 


the female instead of giving birth to} 


a litter of four or five at a time, as 
she does when free, rarely produces 
more than two, the average for the 
farms in Prince Edward Island being 
at the rate of one and a half, In- 
dividual fox ranchers, however, by 
care and improved methods, do suc- 
ceed in securing an increase of three 
or even four per pair. 
to making this success more general, 
under the direction of Dr, Torrance, 


| 
| research work has been undertaken. 


Land and equipment have been ac- 
quired, two scientific experts from the 
Health of Animals Branch ¢mployed, 
six pairs of foxes from the 
ranches furnished, and a small Jabora- 


| tory fitted up for the studying of the} 
diseases and parasites that affect the 


animals,

simple ways to

First, by the bright

tea when steeped. 


Second, by the ex-

Third, by the de-

Fourth, by the sat-

Musical Sounds

Experiments May Prove of Practical 
Value in Navigation, 


All the world has learned some- 
thing of the hydrophone—the instru- 
ment which enables the presence! of 
submarines to be detected by the 
vibrations they set up in the water. 
Less is known about the wonderful 
experiments carried out in connection 
with this work, in the production of 
sound under The meth ae 
ultimately adopted was to blow a jet 
of condensing steam from a nozzle on 
to a diaphragm under water. This | 
resulted in the production of a soft| 
musical note which could be heard by | 


water. 


means of a hydrophone up to a dis- 
tance of eleven nautical miles. The 
manner in which the sound is produc- 
ed is closely akin to the “bringing” of | 
a kettle before it boils; the repeated 
collapsing of bubbles of 
coming into contact with cold water | 


steam on 


sets up vibrations which, under cer- | 
tain conditions, are rapid enough to 
give a musical note. These-txperi- | 
ments are of great scientific interest |

Mining Engineer Says Dependence

“The utilization of western coal in

that in the vent of labor

THE TREASURE 


OF GOOD HEALTH 


Easily Maintained Through the Use 
of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, 


There is not a nook or corner in 
Canada, in the cities, the towns, the| 
villages, on the farm and in the! 
mines and lumber camps, where «Dr. | 
Williams’ Pink Pills have not been 
used, and from one end of the coun- 
try to the other they have brought 
back to bread-winners, their wives 
and families the splendid treasure of 
new health and strength. 

You have only to ask your neigh- 


bors, and they can tell you of some 
rheumatic or nerve-shattered man, 
some suffering woman, ailing youth 


or anacmic girl who owes present 
health and strength to Dr. Williams’ 
Pink Pills. For more than a quarter 
of a century these pills have been 
known not only in Canada, but] 
throughout all the world, as a reliable | 
tonic, blood-making medicine. 

f wonderful sticcess of Dr, Wil- 
liamis’ Pink Pills is due to the fact 
that they go right to the root of the 
discase in the blood, and by making 
the vital fluid rich and red strengthen 
every organ and_= every nerve, thus|
